I’m Just His Wife

“Congratulations, sister. You’re one month pregnant.” This was a lively announcement.

My eyes widened as my lips parted. Pregnant? Meaning, am I pregnant again? Who was the father? Ay, just gaga Ella? Probably Ivan!

I couldn’t believe it but my excitement prevailed. My tears rolled down my cheeks. I can’t describe how sorry I feel. I was caught in my stomach, it was full again. I have a baby again.

“So, sister. When your friend took you to the hospital, you bled. Good thing it happened early so your baby was saved. You should avoid stress, that will be with you and the baby. I’ll prescribe you some vitamins and the foods you need to eat. By the way, where’s your husband? Why doesn’t he seem to be here? ”

I couldn’t answer the doctor’s question. It’s embarrassing when I say that my wife was there with her partner, isn’t it? I was secretly tempted to think that. They will take care of their lives.

I stroked my stomach again. I am so happy because I have a baby again. Ice already has a brother. Speaking of Ice, shit! I left him at home!

“Ahm, doc. When can I get out of here?” I will ask.

The doctor smiled. “Maybe today, sister. By the way, can I borrow one of your friends for a while? We’re just going to talk about your pregnancy.”

I turned to Roxanne and then Seymour. Seymour sighed and decided to go to the doctor so Roxanne and I were the only ones left in the room.

I hope my baby was a girl. Ice wants a baby sister because she was jealous of her classmates who have siblings.

“Best …”

I turned to Roxanne and even she was smiling but I knew there was sadness there. I was shocked when he caressed my stomach but I immediately smiled as well.

“I have a new baby …” I could hear the joy in his voice.

“Yes. So prepare your pocket for the coming Christmas …” I said laughing.

He jokingly punched me so I laughed even more. This was how Roxanne and I used to be. We were just happy and had no problems. Joking and laughing. I missed it.

He laughed. “You really were, Ella. Tsk.” But he immediately lost his laughter and smiled sadly. “I missed your side like that. For the past seven years, I haven’t seen you laugh. You’re always crying. But look and you’re happy now. God really blesses babies …”

I nodded at what he said. I am so happy now because I will have a baby again. But … shall I tell this to Ivan? Maybe he’ll just drive me and our baby away …

“Roxanne, shall I tell this to Ivan?” I have a sad question.

“You? Will you tell her? If I were in your position, I wouldn’t tell her. Why, she hurt you more than you should have experienced and then you told her she got you pregnant? You’ll only be hurt again. She won’t be left behind. That caterpillar Lara. Let her go. That’s stupid. She has no right to your child since she hurt you. Mark that in your mind and heart. ” I notice Roxanne’s stiffness.

I sighed. He’s right, I’m not going to make a fool of Ivan anymore. They will take care of his fixture in their lives. But my children will just try to hurt us again, they will die …

“were you sure? Do you still want to live here?” Seymour asked after he had delivered me home. Ivan and I live in the house.

I was out of breath. If you ask me, I really don’t want to live here. Just in case, my son was here so I need to accompany him.

“Yes. I have no choice, my son was here …” I said with a nod.

After a day of my stay in Roxanne’s condo unit, I thought about going home. I haven’t been home for four days.

Seymour held my hand so I looked up at him. He gently kissed my hand and then my forehead.

“Alright. I know you won’t stop me. Just, when something happens to you and your son, don’t hesitate to call me okay? I’ve also hired staff to watch over you. They’ll come later. ”

I smiled. I would be even luckier to win the lottery because of Seymour. He was always here whenever I need him. Truly, he’s my super hero. From then until now.

‘thank you, cookie monster. Please tell Roxanne too, thank you too. You know, if you weren’t there maybe what would have happened to my baby and me …” I touched my stomach and smiled because I felt like there was alive in my stomach.

After we said goodbye to each other I decided to enter the house. When I entered I saw the housemates all cleaning the house. Even Manang Lisa who I know was our only cook does the cleaning.

My forehead furrowed. What’s happening? Someone was also changing the curtains and I noticed some items had changed.

“Hurry up and clean up! You’re lazy!” Said a familiar voice.

I turned around and went to the source of that voice. And, I was right in my suspicion. That Lara.

And alas, a housemate even fanned him. This house was fully air-conditioned. Feeling she’s a lady, isn’t she?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

When he saw me he mocked me. I just raised an eyebrow at him. So, Ivan’s bitch hooker was here. He pretended to be human when we first talked and then this was his true nature.

“were you here yet? I thought you got out of here.” I was almost amazed at the art of his voice. was this the kind of woman Ivan chose? The cheap.

I sneezed. “Why should I run away, this was my house. This was my son’s house.” I say emphatically.

I saw his smirk. If I stab his eye with a barbecue stick? He was unlucky and I have mood swings now. Pregnant e.

“You’re desperate. You know I’m the one Ivan loves but you’re still pushing yourself here. I pity you, tsk. You and your son should just leave here.”

My blood boiled at what he said. There were really few and I can hit this woman. The thickness of his face. You think who he was, he just lives here. I am still more entitled to it because Ivan and my parents bought this house.

“If only you could leave here? When the insects here in the house were reduced. Caterpillars were not allowed here.” I sneered at him and saw how his face turned red with annoyance.

This was an achievement. I was able to annoy Ivan”s fixture. He laughed at me, why would I laugh at him more. He doesn’t know me very well yet so don’t scold me.

“was that how Ivan got married? It’s too cheap. Act according to your level. But at least, you look like a squatter so you also have a squatter attitude.” She even flipped her hair so I was bored.

This woman was a taxman. I just came home and he annoyed me right away? Damn him, when I’m really full of him, he’ll find what he’s looking for.

“What about you. You’re like a snake, aren’t you. You’re worse than a snake. Ivan and I were married but you’re still hooked. Just a little reminder girl, don’t touch him anymore when you know he’s already holding others. ” I said and scolded him.

He sighed at what I said. Beside this woman, what can I say. He doesn’t know who he’s up against.

“You know, Rigella. Just find a man who will make you a priority, not the one who will make you temporary. Like me, I’m Ivan’s priority and you’re only temporary. So, go. Just find someone else.” This time he smiled and I was bored. The pride of this serpent!

“You can find someone else, Lara. Our lives seem to be quiet. You know it’s just like an elevator. Why would you squeeze yourself when there’s no room for you. There’s a ladder, you just don’t want to pay attention.”

I saw gaping as a housemate looked around at us. Well, it’s like we have a flip top battle with this fixture.

“PSH. I don’t give a damn. Ivan was just mine.” Oh right? He immediately surrendered to me? Nothing more to answer e.
